Editor’s note: The ASI Top 20 is based, in part, on publicly available financial information, including annual sales/revenue, along with details supplied by company contacts and other sources. Information was verified whenever possible, but adhesives/sealants-related details have been estimated in some cases. In other cases, details for privately held companies have been withheld on request. Financial figures are generally rounded, and the timing of currency conversions may impact specific figures/results.
